Get an alarm to prevent carbon monoxide death

It is Carbon Monoxide awareness week from 16-20 of November, an essential time for raising awareness about the danger that is posed by gas appliances and flues that have not been properly installed, maintained or poorly ventilated.

Carbon Monoxide is a killer but some 20 million households do not have an alarm to detect it.

CORGI says:  “Our installers each visit hundreds of homes every year and are staggered by how few have Carbon Monoxide alarms. Carbon Monoxide is a killer or can leave you with permanent brain damage or paralysis. As you can’t smell, see or taste Carbon Monoxide, it is essential to protect yourself with an audible alarm and get your boiler and other fuel-burning appliances checked at least once a year.”

Born out of the Gas Board as a membership of leading gas installers, CORGI went on to run the mandatory gas scheme for government for many years.
